original title of SDC won't archive/install WB wasn't getting replies :(

Now that I have your attention:


SDC version (again): 2.41.447, build: 145
was running WB 5.50.021

For the last couple of versions of SDC, when I click the update it wouldn't work.
I have SDC set to autoarchive on update and that it would do, but then it would just sit at 100% archived and never download the update.

Got to the point where I would self archive, switch to default skin, uninstall, reboot then download/install WB.

This weekend it wouldn't even archive WB - kept getting a message saying (I believe) wb.xml 0 not found. I forgot to take a shot of it. I get the same thing attempting to archive Webblinds:

There was an error installing WebBlinds. The Following error occurred:

Load: C:\Program Files\Stardock\SDCentral\installed\wl.xml 0 (file not found)
Result: Installation failed (13)

Would you like to view the installation log file?

View log Cancel


View log didn't do anything = nothing came up.

Things I have tried:

SDC settings: Refreshed xml data - still wouldn't archive.
tried updating both servers / refreshing list and xml data on each server

Restored SDC to an earlier version - refreshed lists / refreshed xml data = wouldn't archive

reopened SDC - updated to newest version (again) - still wouldn't archive.
refreshed lists / xml data = still nada.

I even reinstalled SDC over it self = nothing. That usually fixes other issues.

So I figured WTH, I'll just unistall WB without archiving. I gots lots of other versions.
Uninstalled, rebooted (after the reboot I started getting CXP error must close every time I tried to run CXP - so I used Mikes .bat to reregister script = CXP came back - rebooted again), opened SDC, clicked install around 22:30-23:30 my time.
15.61MB + Rural Dialup = I watched for a while to make sure it was gonna do it, then went to bed. It was at around 17%.

At around 06:10 it was downloading at 75%.
At around 07:25 it was downloading at 39%.
At around 07:45 I killed it.



I haven't restored an archived on yet.
It lets me archive some things, some not - haven't gone through the list yet = just tired WB = no /WBlinds = no / object media & sweeper = yes
Any suggestions?

I'm by no means an expert but it seems you have tried everything with SDC and WB that you could. Is there a chance it's not connected to those programs, maybe something like a Trojan or Virus?

Would restoring the system to an eariler date or going into safe mode and restoring to last know good confirgation be an option or consideration?
